As a teenage girl who ISN'T sexually active, i'm probably in the minority. The majority of people use protection. Seriously, if there's an answer to teenage pregnancy, it ISN'T education. We are given education on methods of contraception, pregnancy, termination, reproductive biology, puberty, etc etc etc; weekly from years 7 to 10. Gardasil shots are given out to everyone in schools, in year 9 as part of the vaccination schedule. The problem is an open relationship with one's parents, and parents that will work with their child. Does your daughter have a boyfriend? They're discussing sex. So should you be.
